Artist Statement:
Creating intuitive art is a journey of passion for me. It is a continually evolving process reflecting my life path and experience of nature and the world around me. I continually try to express myself in a deep, organic and original way.
I apply acrylic paint or ink to canvas, wood or paper. I often use water color pencils, paint-pens, decorative paper and other medium that inspires me. My process is intuitive. My style is a blend of whimsical, folk, fantasy, and abstraction inspired by nature, my dreams, my imagination and the mystery and magic of life.
